- naming similarity with autoPtr, unique_ptr and other containers.
For UPtrList derivatives, this is equivalent to the existing
operator(). The read-only variant is also equivalent to the
single-parameter 'set(label)' method.
With PtrList<T> list(...) :
const T* ptr = list.get(10);
if (ptr)
{
ptr->method();
}
vs.
if (list.set(10))
{
list[10].method();
}
For HashPtrTable there is only a read-only variant which is equivalent
to testing for existence and for value.
With HashPtrTable<T> hash(...) :
const T* ptr = list.get("key");
if (ptr)
{
ptr->method();
}
vs.
if (list.found("key"))
{
// Fails on null pointer!!
list["key"].method();
}
Use of get() is largely a matter of taste or local coding requirements
